I am grateful to the Körber-Stiftung for this recognition and look forward to presenting my research and hearing the presentations of the other nominees.
Many thanks to @uni-goettingen.de, the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, the @mpips.bsky.social, and to everyone who supported this research along the way.
Why do our societies seem so deeply divided when most citizens actually occupy a broad political middle ground?

My doctoral project, The German Dream: Economic Inequality through the Eyes of Migrants, examines how migrants perceive economic inequality, what they consider a fair distribution of resources, and whether they support redistributive policies.
Each year, the Körber-Stiftung awards the Deutscher Studienpreis to outstanding doctoral researchers from all academic disciplines. This year, 30 nominees were selected from 859 submissions and invited to present their work in Berlin at the end of June.
I am excited to share that my dissertation has been nominated for the Deutscher Studienpreis by the @koerber-stiftung.de 🎉
